What should I do if I'm not on birth control and am afraid of getting pregnant?

Patient's question:

I had sex with my boyfriend without taking the birth control pill and forgot to take it. I'm worried about getting pregnant because I didn't take the pill.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there's no special treatment for your situation. You'll have to wait until your next menstrual period doesn't come, then go to the hospital for some tests or an abdominal ultrasound to diagnose the issue. It's recommended that you pay attention to using proper contraception in the future, and also maintain good hygiene by keeping the area clean, frequently washing, and changing underwear often. Additionally, be mindful of a proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood.
